### "Una aplicación fácil para practicar idiomas"

October 15, 2021

5.0

Me ha ayudado para repasar o como complemento de algunos cursos de idiomas, es muy bueno para poder practicar y aprender algunas cosas nuevas.

Pros

Es una aplicación muy fácil, interactiva e intuitiva de usar, te puede enseñar desde lo básico hasta cosas más avanzadas, con ayuda de imágenes, audios y textos fáciles de entender, puedes practicar la pronunciación, la idea de las ligas hace que te pongas algunas metas para mejorar y superarte, y la sección de "Cuentos de Duolingo" me parece una muy buena herramienta para poder escuchar conversaciones de situaciones reales.

Cons

Algunas notificaciones pueden ser molestas y vienen activadas, también que algunas opciones para aprender algunos idiomas no están en la lengua materna y se requiere de un idioma extra.

### "What is my experience with Duolingo?"

May 29, 2021

4.0

It's very well, In my experience is excellent for start to learn a language. But I think is necessary more things for be absolutely professional.

Pros

I loved it, because you can practice a new language writing, listening, spelling and all together. Also, the sections are organize for you keep learning daily. I like when send you a notification for study a new lesson, and how is easy for keep as a routine.

Cons

Well, In Duolingo you can obtain gems for buy some extras resources such as themes, and gadgets; sometimes, Is expensive and you can't buy it. And the plus version quit ads, and give you more facilities for lessons. but I don't think is necessary for the price. Another problems is the level of languages. For be C1 (advanced) Duolingo isn't enough.

### "A relatively cheap and easy way to learn new languages to communicate around the world."

September 18, 2023

5.0

My experience was spectacular, I even recommend it to many people, as this method is equivalent to immersion in the language, and is not tiring.

Pros

Despite knowing English, I started from the basics, and I was able to observe that it is a very efficient method of learning new languages, and I even recommended it to many people.

Cons

I understand that the method involves a lot of memorization, but at the basic level I think there is a lot of repetition.

### "Duolingo is great for learning basics"

June 9, 2021

5.0

Great time killer and good foundation to learn basics of a language.

Pros

Great combination of listening exercises, flashcards and multiple choice questions. Most questions have comment section, where users discuss about particular question.

Cons

Ads after every lesson and energy system is what repels me from learning. No grammar explanation and if you want to be fluent in a language, this app won't be enough.

### "Duolingo Review "

January 24, 2024

4.0

Duolingo offers an enjoyable and effective language learning experience through its engaging approach, simplicity, and motivating streaks feature.

Pros

Duolingo makes learning a foreign language enjoyable and engaging, breaking the monotony often associated with language learning. Its simplicity and fun approach keep you motivated, and the streaks feature encourages consistent practice, leading to effective results in a short span.

Cons

If you don't have the premium version the ads keep popping out all the time which is annoying.

February 28, 2023

5.0

This app is a brilliant invention! When you can't go to classes, just download this app and you will learn as much as if you enrolled in a language school!

What I like most about this software is it doesn't pressure me to learn at a regular pace. It gives me the freedom to take one lesson at a time though of course, it's recommended to practice daily.

Cons

None so far. I find this app very useful.

### "Love Duolingo"

July 14, 2023

5.0

Overall a great product, a friend recommended it to me, and I was unsure for a long time until I tried it. I'm glad I did!

Pros

I love that it's on my phone and I can use it simply whenever I am. It makes my train ride to and from work fun!

Cons

I wish there were more hearts/lives/mistakes that I could make in the free version, but I'm grateful that I get to learn a language for free.

It is overall a very convenient and simple to use app which is so needed for building a language skill through frequent use.

Pros

I love how this app’s features’ simplicity & appeal make it so much easier to learn languages and to feel motivated to do it.

There are too many ads, but I do understand why so it’s not all that bothersome.

September 6, 2023

4.0

Mi experiencia particular es que helogrado aprender muchas palabras para poder comunicarme en forma escrita con diferentes clientes de los EEUU.

Pros

Duolingo es una plataforma facil de usar para aprender el idioma en su aspecto escrito y de lectura donde se logra evidenciar el paso a paso y los logros en su proceso de aprendizaje de acuerdo a las palabras aprendidas.

Cons

Una de las desventajas es que tiene una deficiencia en el aprendizaje conversacional donde nbo logramos evidenciar el progreso en este aspecto.

### "The owl that is always"

August 29, 2021

5.0

I did not like that despite having a certain level of the language that I wanted to reinforce, they made me do basic exercises for a long time, more than some words or phrases were poorly formulated from them.

Pros

I like that it is repetitive to a certain point, everything is etched in your head and over time if you don't know any English it helps a lot.

Cons

First, if you already have a base of the language that you want to learn or reinforce, it becomes very annoying. You can spend weeks and weeks with topics that you already know and I get tired pretty quickly.

### "Gamified approach to learning with limited grammar explanations"

May 11, 2023

4.0

I used Duolingo to practice German language, which I learnt at school some 10 years ago. I helped me with vocabulary and certainly refreshed my ability to form sentences and speak properly.

Pros

Duolingo is a free software, but there are some paid options which offer additional features. I appreciated the gamified approach, which encourages doing your lessons consistently by motivating you to maintain your daily streak - which is a bigger motivation than I expected.

Cons

Some sections in this app can be a bit repetitive, mostly because they often use the same vocabulary throughout the section. Grammar explanations are limited, but this may not be an issue you are re-learning a language you have some prior knowledge of.

### "Aprende multitud de idiomas de manera fácil"

March 17, 2023

5.0

Hace años que uso Duolingo para mejorar mis idiomas y aprender otros, es bastante fácil y te ofrece recordatorios para que no se te pase ningún día tu clase, así como un contador con el tiempo que llevas.

Pros

Que enfoque parte del aprendizaje en la pronunciación, me parece algo muy importante que en los estudios reglados no se suele hacer. Te graba con micrófono y debes pronunciarlo de manera similar para que el software te entienda.

Cons

Es quizás demasiado fácil, no aporta dificultad alguna, incluso en los niveles altos.

### "Make Language Learning a Blast and Fun Filled Experience "

August 8, 2023

5.0

Overall, I love Duolingo. It's a cute software, easy to navigate and always fun to go through.

Pros

I love the user interface, the mode of learning and the real life competition you get with other learners, this makes you want to learn more and give it your all.

Cons

They tend to make it all about the streak and it makes learners not to actually learn anything and just want to make it up the leaderboard. I hope they consider those using the free mode and make it easier for them.

### "Addicting language learner!"

July 23, 2021

5.0

Overall, it is an effective language learning app. I like the fact that it engages all modalities of learning. From the excellent audio narration to the definitions available when the user long-pushes each word in a sentence, the app is varied in its approach to teaching languages. I especially like the feature where the user can discuss a concept with others in a chat room! And there is a chat room for almost every section of instruction! The only feature I do not appreciate are the commercials.

Pros

I live the "gameification" aspect of the app. You want to advance in your learning to unlock awards and get to the next level... just like in a video game! Anyone who has a competitive nature, such as myself, loves this! Pushing myself to get the next achievement. Learning becomes fun again through the use of games!

Cons

The commercials that appear, without the user's permission, are not appreciated. There never used to be commercials in the past. Additionally, there is a lot of fill-in-the-blank and matching learning exercises, whereas earlier in the app's history, most exercises consisted of vocabulary memorization. I really liked the past emphasis that was placed on the development of a large vocab base and think that with it now missing, the opportunities for effective learning are limited.

### "Learn a new language quick and systematically"

December 3, 2021

5.0

I use Duolingo to learn Spanish and love it for its simple interface and the way it lets you easily learn a new language.

Pros

Duolingo is an excellent software that let you learn new languages. It has almost all of prominent languages that it teaches. The teaching method is very systematic amd.indcludes audio, text and pictorial input and output. Its integrated test modules further aid yoir learning of a language. You can sync your Duolingo with email account thus enabling you to access and continue your progress from where you left on any device. It is available on all computer and smartphone systems.

Cons

Duolingo is the most efficient and useful among language learning softwares and has no big problems in it.

### "The most amazing app to learn language."

July 10, 2021

5.0

Duolingo has been teaching me Spanish very effectively and within a very few days I find myself familiar with quite a good number of Spanish words. It gets better and better and it can be felt.

Pros

In my opinion duo is the best language learning app out there. You can use most of its main features for free, and the paid version is more amazing and not that much costly. Duo on Duolingo has been my friend for a very long time. Teaches language in a way it should be.

Cons

Honestly I cannot find anything to mention as bad side. Everything about this app is awesome. An optional theme upgrade can make it more attractive.

### "Great Lessons—Intrusive Ads"

December 2, 2023

5.0

50/50. Great learning but dreadful marketing. Either make the whole program a paid subscription or split it for users to choose, but don’t harass them.

Pros

The lessons with listening, composing alternation

Cons

The unrelenting pressure to try Super Duolingo. It started with “no thanks” options, progressed to pop up ads with a loud voice that disrupted concentration, and finally a three day trial button from which, if you accidentally clicked, there was no way out. The program started with 14 lessons and was decreased to just 3. They were progressively putting more and more pressure to go to Super Duolingo. I did not like this experience.

### "Duolinguo app fantastica rapporto qualità prezzo"

October 25, 2023

5.0

ottima esperienza la consiglierei senza dubbio, ho usato e esto usando duolingo attivamente per rispolverare il francese ma anche per avere un'infarinatura dello spagnolo che non guasta mai soprattutto in viaggio.

Pros

Duolingo è un'app gratuita molto strutturata e completa per l'apprendimento delle lingue, la funzionalità a step permette di affrontare argomenti e macroaree in maniera step by step partendo dalle basi per poi progredire nel tempo. Cose che mi sono piaciute sono: possibilità di stabilire l'orario di apprendimento, mix tra scritto e ascolto e parlato per memorizzare meglio il vocabolario, punteggi e reward che si accumulano con il tempo, incentivano a progredire.

Cons

Si potrebbe migliorare l'applicazione inserendo più "speaking " così da far progredire velocemente la capità di parlare la lingua, più attenzione nelle congiunzioni di frasi e meno tempo dedicato ad imparare le singole parole.
